Ohanaeze Assure To Attend Tinubu's Inauguration
Governors Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State, Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State, and Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, according to a statement released on May 24, 2023 by the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Secretary General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, have "seconded their decision and are actively working with them to actualize it.
The statement by Isiguzoro said: "Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide is mobilizing massively to attend the inauguration of President-Elect, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Monday, 29th May, 2023, at Eagle Square, Abuja.
"For the avoidance of doubt, Ohanaeze wishes the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Mr Peter Obi, well in his pursuit to exercise his legal and constitutional rights over the 2023 presidential election results declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
"However, Ohanaeze Ndigbo urges Ndigbo to remain law-abiding and avoid engaging the Tinubu-led Federal Government in confrontation. Ndigbo is mindful of the future and will never play bad politics of bitterness and malice against President-Elect Tinubu.
"Indeed, the era of "nzogbu nzogbu" politics is over, and Ndigbo should learn to approach political issues in Nigeria from a holistic perspective, not disjointed sentiments.
"It will be unwise for Ndigbo to boycott the inauguration of the incoming administration of the Federal Government of Nigeria under Tinubu since it will amount to cutting off our noses to spite our faces.
"World leaders, including former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, have already congratulated Tinubu, and their countries are billed to attend his inauguration."
The Ohanaeze chieftain further noted that the three governors are eager to not only facilitate Ohanaeze Ndigbo's attendance at the inauguration but have also "resolved to stick out their necks to ensure that Ndigbo is not isolated and left in the cold under Tinubu."
